Scholars
of both Beowulf and
Tolkien have to this point been unaware that Tolkien’s
important
essay "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics" was a redaction of a much
longer and more substantial work, Beowulf and the Critics,
which
he wrote in the 1930s. Drout's critical edition of Beowulf and the
Critics
presents
both unpublished versions of Tolkien's lecture ('A' and 'B')
and
includes a description of the manuscript, complete textual and
explanatory
notes, and a detailed critical introduction. The many layers of writing
and revision documented in the textual notes provide a window into
Tolkien's
method of composition. The explanatory notes collect together all the
sources
Tolkien used for his work and detail the influences that shaped his
critical
understanding. This book illustrates the development of the thought of
one of the twentieth century's most influential authors and scholars.
